School Nutrition Foundation

As the philanthropic sister organization of the School Nutrition Association, the School Nutrition Foundation is dedicated to securing financial resources for education, professional development, scholarships and research in school nutrition. The School Nutrition Foundation focuses on providing the resources that educate and empower SNA members to provide high-quality, low-cost meals to students across the nation to foster an environment where children achieve overall wellness and lifelong success.

Each year, the Celebration of School Nutrition Heroes is held in late February/early March during SNA’s Legislative Action Conference (LAC). The annual fundraising event for SNA honors five school nutrition heroes who embody the passion and commitment of SNA members who make a difference in their schools and in their communities.

Giving Tuesday, the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a special day dedicated to generosity and the spirit of giving. Celebrated by non-profit organizations throughout the world, Giving Tuesday features online giving, social media, and “unselfies.”
